Edward?

[flopsy1974]

Like it? or not?

How popular is it??

I love it but would like other peoples opinions before I take the plunge.

Don't want to end up with 3 others in a nursery class.

I don't know if it's just MN but Edward is asked about almost daily. Seems to be quite popular atm. But it's a good and classic name.

Very popular and a little dull imo.

I love it. Lots of potential for nicknames too, so if it's common it doesn't matter!

don't know how popular it is, have never met a dc called Edward past 5 years but it is an ok name, nothing wrong with it

Edward is apparently getting more and more popular due to the Twilight books.
I think its a nice name, but I think it is getting really popular.

It's our chosen name if dc2 is a boy, but that's mostly because of a family naming tradition that goes back yonks We're going with Ted as a nn.

I like it

one word: twilight

love Ed and Eddie.

I have a two year old called Edward and obv I love the name. Nothing to do with twilight etc.
I call him Ned as a nickname too. I called him Edward because it was an uncommon "posh" name that could have lots of nice NN and would look good when he goes to Pschool!
If you are interested, it came 5 (ish) in the times names baby announcements the year that Ned was born(2008), so a good MC name!

I like it but it's the new Thomas ie a classic overused name by ALL classes

it's a very english name so you won;t get that many of them out of engerland

I love it. One of mine had it as a middle name.

I know it is supposed to be popular but I don't actually know any children with Edward or it's variations as a first name.

I have a little Eddie born last year. It's a not that Engerlish; Eduoard in French, Edouardo in Spanish....Ted if American.

I meant english as in not very scottish, welsh, irish. I was ignoring the larger world

I am Irish! Tends to be shorn to Ned, but your right, there are not that many.

Incredibly popular here and I'm afraid I don't understand why.

We're in Surrey and there are loads of little Edwards (Ed, Eddie) here.

It certainly is very difficult for a German or French person to pronounce Edward , so if you want a name that travels well, I'd avoid it.
